Rhys, I know exactly how you feel about all of this. The newest reboot just doesn’t look like the Thomas I know and love. If this is really where Thomas is headed, I am not excited about it at all. I highly doubt it’ll be any good for those of us who grew up with the show when we were kids, but like you, I, too, will give the first three, four, or even five episodes a try. But I really do hope the future of Rev Awdry’s legacy will be a lot brighter than this someday. I really, really do. Until then, we, the fans, can carry on and do our part to keep the spirit and legacy alive and kicking. We just have to keep on writing, vocal training, animating, modeling, filming, and so on, and so on, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Like everything else the fans can keep it going. Maybe we should start up Thomas Fan conventions and stuff. Let them see that there are enough of us who want the old stuff. It might work. After all, fans got Star Trek back.
What have they done to Thomas!? That’s not the Thomas I remember! I was hoping they would continue the series like they did in season 20, and get rid of big world big adventures, and bring back some old characters from the old series!!
I’m beginning to lose hope in the current writers. After all the great content they have given us from 2013-2017, they insult us with BWBA and now this! You know, I don’t think they can save the show again after this.
